On February 23, 2021, an 18-wheel flatbed tractor-trailer truck hit a BNSF freight train carrying chemicals and fuels in Cameron, Texas, United States, causing a huge explosion and starting a fire.[1][2] The derailment caused the train's petroleum cargo to explode, resulting in the evacuation of nearby homes. At least one structure burned, but no loss of life or injuries were reported.[2] Footage of the explosion and thick black smoke from the fire made international news.[3]
